Hot Swap Mobile Rack Question

[lafguy81]

My next workstation will have this installed.

SUPERMICRO, CSE-M35T-1 Black SATA Hot-Swap Mobile Rack, 5x 3.5" Hard Drives, 3x 5.25 Bays.

CSE-M35T-1B SATA Mobile Rack, Black
Supermicro's CSE-M35T1B Mobile Rack Series offers the cutting edge technology with greater flexibility. The CSE-M35T1B supports five Serial ATA hot-swappable hard drives that yield a paralleled storage capacity without compromising productivity by eliminating possible system downtime.

I don't see why not.
